Hamilton County District Attorney Neal Pinkston offered a pre-trial diversion this morning to Ooltewah High School Assistant Principal and Athletic Director Allard "Jesse" Nayadley, charged with failing to report child sexual abuse or suspected sexual child abuse in connection with the December rape of a student.

Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Tom Greenholtz approved the pre-trial diversion this morning, which means after a period of 180 days the case can be thrown out.

In the next 90 days, Nayadley will complete 10 hours of community service and take a class on mandatory reporting of abuse, Pinkston said.

Nayadley's attorney, Lee Davis, said he is glad his client was able to receive this pre-trial diversion, saying he is ready to put all of this behind him and move forward.

In a preliminary hearing in this case before Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Rob Philyaw, Pinkston said four boys on the team were sexually assaulted during the trip, and one had to have emergency surgery due to the extent of his injuries.

Pinkston charged the three men in Hamilton County, saying by law they were required to report child sexual abuse to the Department of Children's Services, which didn't happen.
